  • Rasmussen Poll: 27% of Democrats favor prosecuting ‘global warming’ skeptics – 63% of all Americans say debate is not over

    'Just over one-in-four Democrats (27%), however, favor prosecuting those who don’t agree with global warming.'

    'Unchanged is the 63% who say that debate is not done yet. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.'

  • In Their Zeal to Go after Exxon, Warmists Erase Scientists’ Early Caution on Global Warming

    'Predictably, Oreskes and McKibben draw a different conclusion, one entirely unsupported by the evidence.'

  • ‘The Climate Mafia Rewrites Science History’: ‘RICO statute was passed to fight the mafia. Now it’s being used by the climate mafia to silence dissent’

    Contrary to what Oreskes and McKibben believe, unearthing the thoughts of Exxon scientists from the late 1970s and 1980s illustrates a tendency among some scientists — even those in the pay of an oil company — to be prone to alarmism and to overstate what is known. Predictably, Oreskes and McKibben draw a different conclusion, one entirely unsupported by the evidence. Had Exxon been up-front about the dangers of global warming, we might have started to decarbonize decades ago, Oreskes argues. Instead, Exxon had behaved like tobacco companies who had “long delayed” public understanding by suppressing the truth about the deadly nature of their products.

    Democrat Sen. Whitehouse: Use RICO Laws to Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

    Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI): 'In 2006, Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia decided that the tobacco companies’ fraudulent campaign amounted to a racketeering enterprise...The parallels between what the tobacco industry did and what the fossil fuel industry is doing now are striking.'

  • Watch Now: Morano in lively TV climate debate with enviro lobbyist: ‘The points she just made are demonstrably not true’
    Watch Now: Morano in lively TV climate debate with enviro lobbyist: ‘The points she just made are demonstrably not true’

    Watch: The Uncomfortable Pause; Warmist EDF climate expert explains lack of global warming: ‘I, the, yeh, uhh…’

    Heartland Institute reviews debate: 'Morano brought the facts — relentlessly and firmly. Andress was criminally uninformed for someone in her position. She spent so much time stammering, everyone who is a part of EDF or supports it should be embarrassed.'

    Morano: 'The UN would like you to think there is no debate. The IPCC is a political body masquerading as a science body. And the points EDF's Carol Andress just made are demonstrably not true...On climate timescales of 50-100 [extreme weather] is either falling short of predictions or going in the opposite direction.'

    Morano: 'Climate is governed by hundreds of factors...CO2 is not the control knob of the climate. That is where the debate is and the idea that it is settled is absurd. There are so many scientists dissenting.' - The UN IPCC has an agenda. They openly say they want to redistribute wealth by climate policy. So they are using the science as a partisan political campaign effort for centralized government planning through the United Nations. It's a self enrichment tool, self-interest tool and a way they can be in charge of the developing world's development.'

  • Dems tie climate skeptics to tobacco, lead backers

    Two Democratic lawmakers held a briefing Thursday to argue that climate change skeptics use similar arguments and tactics to those who believed that tobacco and lead are not harmful. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Rep. Henry Waxman (R-Calif.) said similar conservative interests have been behind many of movements that have been discredited,

  • Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr.: ‘This AAAS report is an embarrassment to the scientific community’ – Declares report includes ‘blatant advocacy and absurd statements’

    Pielke Sr.: 'The AAAS report is even worse than the AGU and AMS Statements (and I thought that would be hard to do)' -- 'They also ignore the recent recognition of the heightened importance of natural climate forcings and feedbacks.'

    Rips AAAS for linking Tobacco to CO2: 'The science linking human activities to climate change is analogous to the science linking smoking to lung and cardiovascular diseases.' show that this report is just political theater. There are no health benefits from smoking, only health risks. CO2 is required for life on Earth including plant growth and function...to directly COMPARE to the health risks of tobacco demeans the scientific stature of this who make such wild claims.'

  • Climate Activist Prof. Dessler seeks to eliminate record-breaking 1930s EPA heatwave chart
  • Media’s claim that Lake Mead is shrinking due to ‘climate change’ DEBUNKED

    Image

    Steve Milloy: Today’s elevation is not all that different from the low points of 1956 and 1965 (about 1,090 feet, shown in first graph), especially when you consider the increases in water use and human management of reservoir levels over time. No doubt that drought is affecting Lake Mead. But Western drought is natural (the region is a desert, after all), and Lake Mead was comparably low more than 100 ppm CO2 ago.

    Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, Hollywood actors, venture capitalists — they’re all pushing lab-grown meat as the solution to world hunger and environmental sustainability, but scientists last week told a panel of experts they have serious concerns about the product’s safety.
